Polenta Crusted Salmon With Tomato and Olive Vinaigrette image

Lovely dish, very simple to prepare. The polenta crust, crispy on the outside and keeps the fish moist on the inside.You may serve with fresh peas. I use a knob of butter alongwith the oil when frying the fish fillets, it just gives that extra flavour.
